[blindlaw] Loislaw accessibility

[Susan Kelly]

Probably so, since the articles themselves were likely typed in normal
word processing formats for submission.  The company which does the
production and imaging informed me that there is no PDF version, nor a
text-only site, and acknowledged its inaccessibility.  When I contacted
the State Bar (since this is often the first, only and/or most in-depth
presentation of matters all of is in Arizona are supposed to know), I
was told that there was a PDF version somewhere - not where or how to
access it, though - and that they had never had anyone request an
accessible format before!  In their defense, though, they did promise to
"work on it...."

the sad part about it is that your state bar magazine was probably in an

accessible format before it was imaged on to the web.
